GAS '-AND AIR PRESSING-IRON.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 7, 1908.

- Application filed January 2,- 1906. Serial No. 294,139.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in gas heated pressing irons and hasfor its object to provide a flame distributer in connection with the iron so that the flame will be evenly distributed on the iron.

Another object of my invention is to provide a device which is. very simple and cheap in '-construction and onewhich can be attached to irons of this kind now in use.

Another object of my invention is to provide a device that will overcome the difficulties now existing in irons of this character, of the flame passing to the rear of the iron leaving the front part of the iron without heat.

A further object of my invention is to provide an improved burner in connection with the iron which can be quickly and easily re moved, and cleaned when desired.

With these objects in view, the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims. a

In the drawings forming a part of this specification: Figure 1 is a ongitudinal sectional view'of the iron. Fig.2 1s a plan View of the flame distributer. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same.

.Referring to' the drawings A, indicates a hollow casting formin the body of the iron the usualhandle B, and an opening formed in the rear of. the iron havinga hinged door A A burner C, is secured to the top of the iron adjacent the front of the same, by a screw C, and projects down into the chamber through an opening formed therein. The burner is provided with a vertical passage'C having an inwardly C so as to lessen gas a uniform mixture.

A horizontal passage C, connects with the passage (Eat its end and is provided with a said casing provided wit a beveled side, for the purpose described.

perforated plate C forming the burner proper. The upper end of the passage C is connected to a tube D, through which the air and gas is fed to the burner.

Arranged in the chamber of the iron, adjacent the burner is a casing E, inverted shaped in cross-section, forming a flame distributer and is secured therein by a screw E. The casing is provided with a central partition E having a beveled forward side provided with a groove Eiwhich communicates.

with the notch E formed in the bottom of the partition and it will be readily seen that the ame from the burner will strike the partition and be forced forward to the front part of the iron. The opening IE, will allow enough of the flame to ass through to the rear of the iron to heat the same.

The casing tapers downwardly. from the plartition and is provided with a notched end through which the burner is ada ted to be ignited. Notches E, are forme in the .sides of the casting adjacent. the end E through which the heat is adapted to escape. Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In an iron of the kind described, the combination with a chamber provided with a burner at one end, a flame distributer ar-' ranged-in said chamber adjacent said burner,

said distributer being inverted V-shaped' in cross section and provided with a transverse partition having a beveled grooved side-communicating with a notch in the partition, the

beveled side of the partition being adjacent the burner, for the purpose described.

2. In an iron of the kind described, the combination with achamber provided with an opening, of a burner arranged in said chamber projecting out through said opening, and a casing inverted V-shape in crosssection arranged adjacent chamber, a transverse artition formed in grooved HARRY A. KOENIG.
